| Stolen Summer (2002) | "
Watching Stolen Summer makes one question the entire Project Greenlight process, starting with the notion that anyone off the street is fit to write and direct a motion picture if only they want it badly enough." — Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 22, 2002 |

Despite a wealth of special effects and direction by Paul Verhoeven, Mr. Over-the-Top himself, this movie is surprisingly inert, more dull than anything else, with little to recommend it on any level." — Los Angeles Times Posted Jan 1, 2000 |

| Dudley Do-Right (1999) | "
Though it hurts to think unkind thoughts about the square-shooting Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman who is passionate about right and wrong, in reality casting Fraser as Dudley turns out to be too much of a good thing, a case of Blank Look Overkill." — Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 14, 2001 |

Igby is ... so irritating that people periodically feel impelled to lash out and hit him out of sheer frustration at the smugness of his baby rebellion. Audiences will likely be tempted to throw a few punches themselves." — Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 12, 2002 |
